Image capture speed gets a boost!

To quote you, "storage is cheap." it is, however, 240fps is still 8x the amount of data as 30fps, so either you shoot 1/8th as much video or you need to pay 8x as much in storage costs. I'm expecting new type of compression to be developed. it already has, heif/hevc, which applies to any frame rate, so 240fps is still 8x as much data. |

The intent was merely to point out that even a trillion discrete files can currently be stored on a disk in current off-the-shelf OS's, which is the enabling technology for whatever organization schema one wishes to employ. I've mentioned in the past that I've done work with high speed cameras. From some of that work, we ended up with ~8 million digital frames in just the first year to manage as we waded through the analysis. Scaling from million to trillion is of course not without its challenges, but since both are large beyond nominal human comprehension, the limitation's elsewhere. -hh |

As for 30fps, those who have shot video have always worked with that rate, and it's not much of a challenge. IMO, the issue is that it isn't the best way to get individual shots anyway, but for those who work that way, a 120fps rate would improve their chances. 60 and 120fps and even 240fps is the norm now. the problem is storage. To quote you, "storage is cheap." it is, however, 240fps is still 8x the amount of data as 30fps, so either you shoot 1/8th as much video or you need to pay 8x as much in storage costs. Storage cost per megabyte is not linear. -- PeterN |

Storage cost per megabyte is not linear. good point. the sweet spot, where cost per gigabyte is lowest, is not with the highest capacity drives, so the increase in cost is actually *more* than 8x. |
